I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

The palace examination lasted for several days, and Wu Zetian and Li Zhaoce questioned nearly tens of thousands of people, hundreds of whom were granted official titles.

Wu Zhao settled all these officials in collective residences rented to low-level officials, and granted them a certain amount of food, clothing and salary. The first palace examination of the Dayu Dynasty was successfully concluded.

The Eastern Turkic rebellion was finally put down, and Pei Xingjian escorted Funian Khan back to the capital, but he suddenly died of illness on the way, and the army almost fell into chaos.

When Funian Khan and a group of Turkic high-ranking officials were fleeing, Xi Yulong, a female general who had followed Pei Xingjian in the expedition, remained calm in the face of danger, led her troops in pursuit, and shot Funian Khan to death with one arrow.

She and a group of generals escorted the rest of the Turkic high-ranking officials back to the capital, and also brought back Pei Xingjian's coffin. Wu Zetian was deeply saddened, and issued an edict to posthumously award him the title of Grand Commander of Yangzhou, and the title of Grand Marshal, with the posthumous name "Xian".

After Li Zhao became the Crown Princess, the team around her was upgraded. She specially sent Ruyi, who was already the Crown Princess's Left Assistant, to take care of Pei Xingjian's funeral to show her appreciation for Pei Xingjian.

When the army returned to the capital, Wu Zetian rewarded the meritorious officials according to the custom.

Hearing the name Xi Yulong, Li Zhao was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "This Xi Qing, he is calm in the face of danger and acts quite steadily. He is a talented general."

"Bring her forward so I can see her."

"Yes." The female official responded repeatedly and sent someone forward.

After Li Zhao saw it, he thought to himself, "As expected, it's an acquaintance."

When I was training Huang Jiaoniang to be the Goddess of Weaver Girl, I had selected several girls from all over the Tang Dynasty and randomly trained them on a pilot basis in the virtual world of the [Live Tourism Module]. This girl was one of them.

Now, the child has also grown up.

Li Zhao asked Xi Yulong with a smile: "Yulong? Why are you called this name?"

Xi Yulong bowed and said, "I once heard the Holy Queen of the Human Race, Leizu, recite a poem in my dream, in which there was a line: 'I will repay your kindness on the Golden Terrace, and I will die for you by supporting Yulong.'"

"I am deeply moved, so I ask my mother and father to change my name to Yulong. I look forward to serving my country and being loyal to my king and mother one day."

Li Zhao clapped his hands and laughed: "You have ambitions, you are a good boy!"

"From now on, you will be my lieutenant general and accompany me to the battlefield!"

Xi Yulong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you very much for your grace, Master Xuan!"

Since Li Zhao became the Crown Princess, she not only transferred Mulan and Zhang Xiao from Qingzhou to serve as her left and right generals, but also reorganized the East Palace Guards and expanded the number of female soldiers.

Now Luohou is in charge of the defense of Luoyang City, Jidu is in charge of the palace guards around Wu Zhao, and Yuebei and Ziqi follow Li Zhao and control the troops of the Eastern Palace.

The General of the Household was an official position of the fourth rank and was in charge of an independent government. Xi Yulong had already been granted the title of Founding Son, and now he had another official position, and he was extremely happy.

After the celebration banquet, Wu Zhao executed the defecting Eastern Turkic high-ranking officials to shock the barbarians in all directions.

Li Zhao didn't say anything about this. She knew that Wu Zhao was trying to establish her authority and she also knew what the consequences of her actions would be. But she just watched coldly, wanting to take the opportunity to gain benefits again.

Sure enough, the following year, the Eastern Turks, led by Kutlug, fled to the Tianshan Mountains, plundered the Tiele tribes, and established the Later Turks.

Li Zhao finally found an excuse to wipe out the Later Turks!

All officials gathered at the court meeting.

Zheng Yuanyin, the granddaughter of Princess Qianjin, received instructions from Li Zhao, stepped forward and asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, the Later Turks are really rampant. They dared to plunder the Tiele tribes on the border of our Great Yu Dynasty. I beg you to send troops to suppress them!"

The Tang Dynasty was full of martial virtues, and many ministers of the Dayu Dynasty were old Tang people. When they met the barbarians who dared to disobey the Celestial Empire, everyone was unanimous in their opinion: just screw him!

"Yes, the Later Turks are just barbarians. How dare they provoke the Celestial Empire like this? They are guilty of a heinous crime and should be executed!"

"Please, the two saints, make a decision as soon as possible and attack the Turks!"

A group of people were clamoring to defeat the Later Turks, and Li Zhaowu Zhao was not vague and nodded directly.

Wu Zetian immediately issued an edict: "According to the advice of all the ministers, we will attack the Later Turks."

Li Zhao continued, "This time, I will personally take action."

Her eyes were dim and her red lips were smiling: "We have completely pacified that barbaric land in Mobei."

Upon hearing this, all the officials suddenly thought of Goguryeo, Silla, and Japan, which were destroyed by Xuanzun, and they couldn't help but shudder.

If Xuanzun takes action personally, those barbarians will be in trouble.

Good luck to you, barbarians of the Later Turkic Empire.

After the imperial edict was issued, the court officials began to make arrangements in a hurry, preparing food and fodder, and issuing notices...

Xuanzun is going to go on another expedition!!

When the news spread among the people, countless male and female soldiers who had followed Yu Dou Xuan Zun to fight were all excited, and the male and female soldiers who were under her care were also very happy.

They assembled as quickly as possible and gathered outside Luoyang City.

After waiting for a while, a phoenix with a purple body and colorful feathers suddenly appeared. On top of its head, Li Zhao stood proudly, overlooking the soldiers on the ground.

Her resonant voice echoed throughout the audience: "Soldiers, the Turks have repeatedly caused trouble and plundered the border. The people on the border, our compatriots, are living in dire straits!"

"And you are the most elite warriors of my Great Yu Dynasty. Only you can save them!"

Li Zhao's words were sonorous and powerful: "This time, I will lead everyone to the northern desert to defeat the Turks and make those barbarians surrender completely and never offend again!"

"Let the border of Dayu be peaceful for ten thousand years!"

"This time, you will make great contributions, return home in glory, and receive a fortune of millions of dollars!"

"Who is willing to go to war with me? Raise your hands!"

Follow Xuan Zun and you will have meat to eat! Follow Xuan Zun and you will get money! Follow Xuan Zun and you will have merit!

The soldiers were filled with passion. Hundreds of thousands of them raised their hands and shouted, "I am willing to go!"

"I swear to follow His Majesty Xuanzun until death, even if it means staining the sand with blood!"

With a swish, Li Zhao summoned the Seven Star Sword, with the tip of the sword pointing far away at the Mobei grassland.

"All troops, follow my orders, advance!"

Target, Mobei Prairie!!

When the army arrived at the prairie, Li Zhao quietly left the barracks in the middle of the night and opened the [Smart World Map].

"Qingluan, do you know why nomadic peoples have become a problem for the Central Plains dynasties?"

Qingluan thought for a moment and said, "The conflict between nomadic peoples and agricultural peoples arises from survival. When the weather gets cold and they have no food, they go south to rob, and then run away. This is how the two sides become enemies."

"Besides, they are too mobile and the grasslands are too vast to be completely eliminated. Therefore, every dynasty has been very troubled by the nomadic peoples' border raids."

Li Zhao said leisurely: "Yes, it's a survival issue. Most of the conflicts between the two arise from survival. If this issue is not resolved, the problem of nomadic peoples raiding the border will never be solved."

Qingluan looked around: "But, Zhaozhao, why are we here? There's nothing here!"

Li Zhao pointed to several small marking points on the [Smart World Map] and asked her to fly around: "I marked a few places, you go and fly around and find the Turks."

Qing Luan nodded and activated the skill at the same time: "Okay! Sharp ears and eyes, photographic memory, skill activation, shared activation!"

She flew far away and soon found a place where Turks gathered: "Zhao Zhao! Found it!"

Li Zhao curled his lips and smiled: "Very good.

Under the moonlight, a group of Turks were grilling fat sheep, their mouths dripping with oil, when suddenly a group of soldiers appeared from the side!

"kill!!!"

The Turkic people who thought they were hiding well: "???!!!"

No! How did you people from Dayu find our camp? !

Some Turks came out of the tents with knives in hand. They fought hastily, but the Dayu army was well prepared and quickly defeated them!

In the following days, Qingluan was responsible for serving as the Beidou satellite in the sky, providing navigation for Li Zhao and his men. Li Zhao led his army to fight bravely, killing their way across the Tianshan Mountains and capturing all the remaining high-ranking Turks in one fell swoop!

In the melee, Li Zhao led the charge and chopped off Gutulu's head with one sword!

And Kutlug's younger brother, Mochuo Khan in history, was also stabbed to death by Xi Yulong in close combat!

The Later Turkic Khaganate was destroyed.

Mochuo's wife, Xiaosha Khatun, knelt down and begged for peace, pledged allegiance to the Dayu Dynasty, and was willing to pay tribute every year, only asking the two emperors of the Dayu Dynasty to spare the Turkic subjects.

Li Zhao did not accept her plea for mercy, but took them all back to Luoyang.

This time, she wants to completely conquer the land of Mobei.
